We were told to look out for next week's Jimmy Fallon show with
Madonna's performance: Scooter LaForge is dressing her back-up dancers,
and this was a sneak peak of the clothing he's creating. I was so excited to draw, and my favorite
accessory was this huge blue eye ball on a stick, covered with glittering
spangles. I loved the graphics and shapes of
Scooter's mish-mash-scribbly-patched-layered-torn-glittered-leather-plad aesthetics,
which Ronnie (Veronica Lawlor) described as "gritty funkiness of the 1980s East Village". Check
out her drawings in this eloquent post. Also,
look for Despina Geordiadis and Greg Betza posts with drawings of the event as well. At the end of the night, as Scooter, Sailor Moon, Ronnie and I were stuck on the subway platform waiting for the F for forever, we talked about our love of Picasso and Matisse, among other things. Scooter was holding a big black trash bag. With costumes. Just like that.
